“Hawksley Workman: He is a survivor. One of the rare Canadian artists who has managed to forge a decades-long career and still draw a crowd. And more comfortable in his skin than ever.”
THE COAST
“There is, in Hawksley Workman, an absolutely prodigious sense of survival, Less Rage More Tears (2020) only confirms it. From the start, Hawksley Workman gives himself up without a net, he bares himself again, which does not prevent his songs from revealing a striking combat modesty.”
OUIFM, FRANCE
“Workman proves instantly why he has been a music staple for a number of years. His honest and thoughtful lyricism floats above a heavenly cloud, giving a treat for both the eyes and ears.”
NO DEPRESSION
“Impressively, he not only has plenty to say, but also understands the importance of putting things in a way that seems effortlessly original.”
